ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Rickard Rakell scored 1:24 into overtime to give the Anaheim Ducks a 2-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night.

Rakell put a backhander past Cam Talbot seconds after a change on the fly, using some gorgeous puck handling to keep Oilers center Leon Draisaitl flatfooted and leave the goaltender baffled.

Ryan Getzlaf scored in regulation and Frederik Andersen stopped 17 shots to give Anaheim its seventh straight win.
